Time to get serious with E2E encrypted messaging (techcrunch.com)

I currently use Telegram for my friends and family, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the UK Government is either reaching agreement for backdoors with messaging services, or is trying its hardest to.

I'm also on Element/Matrix. Before I try to get my contacts to join me on there, should I be aware of any privacy issues or is that a good place to head?

Last time I tried Simplex, the desktop app was incompatible with the mobile app. Do you know whether this has been fixed?

I haven't personally tried it, but I think there's a setting in the mobile app for using it with a desktop. So I assume it is fixed, but I won't swear to it.

It works. You either have to link it with your mobile app or you use it standalone with a different user/id
